Hijacking this article[edit]

I just undid a hijack of this article which involved redirecting it to the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) then creating a new Berkely disambiguation article. This is already a disambiguation article and fully complies with Wikipedia naming convention as in WP:Disambiguation#Page_naming_conventions. UCB has no greater claim to any other article named Berkeley in my opinion and it was wrong to redirect it without at least first discussing it and reaching some consensus. I appreciate WP:Bold but this was a little too bold for my liking. Please do not redirect/rename again without discussion and good reason. --Cheesy Mike (talk) 21:39, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I can understand moving this page to a new Berkeley disambiguation article and having "Berkeley" redirect to University of California, Berkeley. In my experience, when one says "Berkeley" it is UC Berkeley one thinks of, not, say, the "Berkeley Hundred". =) WP:Bold indeed. Buxley Hall (talk) 17:59, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
